Constructors Summary
public DERVisibleString(byte[] string)
basic constructor - byte encoded string.

        char[]  cs = new char[string.length];

        for (int i = 0; i != cs.length; i++)
        {
            cs[i] = (char)(string[i] & 0xff);

public DERVisibleString(String string)
basic constructor

        this.string = string;

param
obj the tagged object holding the object we want
param
